Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
Unfortunately most of the anti epileptic drugs do cause sedation .
But it is very important that you take them on time.
Topamac may sometimes cause electrolyte imbalance that can also precipitate the symptoms which you are describing.
There is no harm in taking any multivitamin tablet but please get your sodium and potassium levels checked,to rule out any imbalance.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
